Based on the rules  by Betfair listed below, if Liverpool appoints a director of football and therewith changing their structure of management, what will be the chances of him becoming responsible for picking the first team? Wouldn't Van Gaal be a great bet in this case?

"In the event that Liverpool FC change the structure of their management team and do not call the appointed individual first team manager, Betfair will settle the market on the individual who is responsible for picking the first team. In the event of any ambiguity over the appointment, Betfair may determine using its reasonable discretion how to settle the market based on all the information available to it at the relevant time."

Unless you're truly itk I'd be cautious of piling into Rodgers at these prices.  Notice somebody wants a little Deschamps money.  I've always thought he fits the bill exactly.  Younger guy, tons of experience though and has had real success where he's gone.  Situation at Marseille not good as well, unlike a guy like Klopp I'm sure he'd love to come to Liverpool.

I think people are forgetting on this market that Liverpool are filling a few positions atm including DoF.  I understood for instance that van Gaal and Kloop were both being courted for the DoF position, not that of manager.  Very pleasing to see that Talksport bloke getting all confused about it though.
